Today I have a wild story from Forbidden Worlds #6 (1952), which is self-referential. It's about a writer creating a story for the magazine Forbidden Worlds (which, in the story has its own building — see page 4, panel 4.) It also features editor Richard E. Hughes in a co-starring role. Editor Hughes insinuated himself into his supernatural comics through chatty editorials and letter columns, but “The Devil's Typewriter” is the only time I know of that he was shown as a character in a story.

I read another story with editor Hughes in it that I was able to put on my blog at http://bennypdrinnon.blogspot.com/2014/02/youll-sleep-as-if-you-were-dead.html . This story also shows him with a blonde secretary. - Benny Drinnon
